The [ARI 458 Pro](https://ari-motors.com/en/light-electric-vans) is a compact electric transporter for urban use. However, many prospective buyers ask themselves a key question: Is a light vehicle even allowed to tow a trailer?

 

In this FAQ article, we answer the most important questions about trailer coupling, towing capacity, technical requirements and possible applications in everyday commercial use.

 

## Can the ARI 458 Pro be fitted with a trailer coupling?

 

Yes, the [ARI 458 Pro](https://ari-motors.com/en/light-electric-vans) can officially be fitted with a trailer coupling. The vehicle has been technically adapted so that it is permitted to tow trailers on public roads.

 

This is not a matter of course, especially for vehicles in this class - but it is expressly provided for in the [ARI 458 Pro](https://ari-motors.com/en/light-electric-vans).

 

## What is the maximum trailer load?

 

The permissible trailer load depends on the configuration:

 

- Up to 350 kg (e.g. unbraked trailer)

- Up to 750 kg with corresponding N1 classification

 

This makes the vehicle suitable for numerous applications, such as

 

- Transport of green waste

- DIY store or recycling center trips

- Smaller work trailers

- Promotion or event trailers

 

The legally permissible upper limit is 750 kg.

 

## Are braked and unbraked trailers permitted?

 

Yes, depending on the weight:

 

- Unbraked trailers up to 350 kg

- Braked trailers up to 750 kg (depending on registration/classification)

 

A light, unbraked trailer is sufficient for many craft businesses, janitor services or municipal operations.

 

## How does the electric drive behave with a trailer?

 

The [ARI 458 Pro](https://ari-motors.com/en/light-electric-vans) has a 15 kW rear-wheel drive. Electric motors make their maximum torque available immediately. This ensures:

 

- Powerful starting

- Smooth acceleration

- Good control when loaded

 

This drive system really comes into its own in city traffic.

 

## Is maneuvering with a trailer complicated?

 

No. The [ARI 458 Pro](https://ari-motors.com/en/light-electric-vans) is equipped with a reversing camera as standard.

 

This makes it easier:

 

- Precise coupling

- Maneuvering in tight spaces

- Safe maneuvering with a box body with restricted visibility

 

In addition, the compact turning circle of 9.62 meters supports easy handling in urban environments.

 

## For which sectors is the trailer coupling worthwhile?

 

The trailer coupling offers particular advantages for

 

- Craft businesses

- Gardening and landscaping

- Janitor services

- Municipal businesses

- Event and promotion companies

 

Anyone who regularly wants to transport light additional loads gains significant flexibility with this option.

 

## What to do if 750 kg towing capacity is not enough?

 

If higher trailer loads are required, larger models such as the [ARI 901](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-utility-vehicle) with 900 kg or the [ARI 1710](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-utility-vehicle/ari-1710/van) with 1500 kg offer suitable alternatives.

 

These vehicles enable trailer loads of over one tonne and are designed for more demanding transportation tasks.

 

## Conclusion

 

The [ARI 458 Pro](https://ari-motors.com/en/light-electric-vans) shows that a compact electric transporter with a trailer coupling can also be a practical solution for businesses, cities and municipalities. With a towing capacity of up to 750 kg, reversing camera as standard and powerful rear-wheel drive, it offers a flexible and economical option for everyday urban work.

The [ARI 345 Pickup XL](/en/cargo-mopeds/ari-345/pickup) with lashing rails and LiFePo battery proved to be the ideal solution for Italian pharmacist Andrea Sartori from the *Farmacia Sartori* in Cavareno, a town at high altitude in the Alps. Andrea uses the vehicle to deliver medicines both within the village and in the surrounding area. He also uses the electric cargo trike for everyday errands.

 

A particularly important aspect when choosing the vehicle was that it should fit easily into the underground garage and at the same time be able to negotiate the steep driveway without any problems. With the powerful LiFePo battery, which enables a range of 100 km, the cargo moped ensures that Andrea is reliable even on longer trips through the mountains.

 

The [ARI 345 Pickup XL](/en/cargo-mopeds/ari-345/pickup) not only offers flexibility and a high load capacity, but is also able to cope with the demanding mountain regions - an indispensable tool for daily work in the Alps. The practical lashing bar ensures that deliveries can be transported safely and stably.

 

Thanks to its compact design, the [ARI 345](/en/cargo-mopeds/ari-345/box) is also ideally suited to tight and difficult traffic conditions in the village. *Farmacia Sartori* relies on this model to master its logistical challenges efficiently and sustainably - in the mountainous terrain of South Tyrol.

The electric commercial vehicles from ARI Motors offer plenty of loading space in the customizable vehicle bodies. However, sometimes even the largest loading volume is not enough - for example, for bulky goods or increased transport volumes.

 

For such cases, an optional trailer coupling is available for all models. This allows the electric transporters to be operated with a trailer - ideal for use on large company premises, private property, in parks or factory halls. This means that even larger transports can be handled flexibly and without emissions.

 

**Important:** Not all ARI models may be driven on public roads with a trailer. Some vehicles are only equipped with a maneuvering coupling and are therefore only approved for use on private property.

 

## Towing loads of the ARI Motors models

 

The following braked trailer loads and drawbar loads apply to ARI Motors electric vehicles:

 

| Vehicle | Trailer load (braked) | Drawbar load | Road traffic approved |
|-----------|-----------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| ARI 145 | 100 kg | 30 kg | Yes |
| ARI 345 | 250 kg | 30 kg | Yes |
| ARI 458 | 750 kg | 50 kg | No (private property only) |
| ARI 458 Pro | 300 kg | 45 kg | Yes |
| ARI 902 | 300 kg | 12 kg (35 kg with wheel carrier) | Yes |
| ARI Poly | 300 kg | 12–35 kg (35 kg with wheel carrier) | Yes |
| ARI Bruni | 300 kg | 12–35 kg (35 kg with wheel carrier) | Yes |
| ARI 901 | 900 kg | 50 kg | Yes |
| ARI 901 XL| 1,200 kg | 75 kg | Yes |
| ARI 1570 | 1,600 kg | 200 kg | Yes |
| ARI 1710 | 1,500 kg | 75 kg | Yes |


 

## Trailers for ARI electric vehicles

 

In addition to trailer couplings, ARI Motors also offers matching trailers. The STEMA trailer is particularly popular and, with a payload of 270 kg, is an ideal addition for smaller ARI models. It measures 134 × 108 × 26.5 cm and is therefore ideal for transporting additional cargo.

 

The STEMA trailer is specially designed for the ARI 902, ARI 458 Pro, ARI Bruni and ARI Poly models and provides a significant increase in transport capacity.

## Possible applications with trailer

 

An ARI electric transporter with trailer is ideal for a wide range of industries and applications. Craft businesses use them to transport tools and building materials, municipal companies use the vehicles for internal transportation and private individuals use them for gardening work, moving or transporting bulky items, for example. The trailers also offer a flexible and emission-free transportation solution for gardening and landscaping, in parks or on large company premises.

 

## Advantages of electric transporters with trailers

 

The optional trailer coupling significantly increases the transport capacity of ARI electric vehicles. This means that companies can not only move bulky or heavy goods, but also benefit from the advantages of electromobility: low operating costs, quiet driving and sustainable, CO₂-free transportation. This makes electric vans with trailers an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional commercial vehicles.

 

## Conclusion

 

With an optional trailer coupling, the transport capacities of ARI electric vehicles can be significantly expanded. Particularly practical: suitable trailers are also available for compact models such as the ARI 458 Pro or ARI Poly, which can be used in a variety of ways.

 

ARI Motors thus remains true to its line: emission-free, flexible and economical mobility - now also with a trailer solution.
